Easy Automatic Billing

Palm Beach State College automatically applies Florida Prepaid funds to eligible student accounts. Every week, staff in PBSC’s Student Account Services department download a file from Florida Prepaid that contains all active plan owners. This file is matched with student accounts using social security numbers. If there is a match with your student account, staff will post Florida Prepaid to your balance due for the upcoming academic period.  

Confirm Your Automatic Billing

The social security number you provide to Florida Prepaid and Palm Beach State College must match. Check your PBSC student account in Workday to confirm or update your information.

Opt Out of Automatic Billing 

If you do not want to use your Florida Prepaid funds at Palm Beach State College, you may opt out of automatic billing. Go to your student account in Workday to opt out.
